506: Nowhere to Escape (Fifth Shift for Support)

Neither Owen nor Vitesse wanted to meet Link now, and they both hid far away. As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Link gave the two young guards a taste of power.

At this time, Irving was holding the ball and confronting Conley. He didn't call for a pick-and-roll, because he knew that the pick-and-roll would form a change of defense, and a change of defense might "suck" Link over.

Therefore, Owen would rather go head-to-head with Conley than fight again.

I'm so scared!

Irving has never been so afraid of an opponent since college. All along, he was the one who scared the other party. But at the Federal Express Arena, Owen, a former hunter, has become prey.

However, Conley is not easy to deal with, he is not pestering Irving now, but has always maintained a safe distance with Irving to prevent breakthroughs and shots.

Conley has always been in the impression of many fans that he is not very old, and has always been placed in the category of "young players" and "new generation".

But in reality, this is Conley's sixth year in the league. Compared to Owen, he is so mature.

Owen's shaking didn't have an effect on Conley, mainly because Owen's own movements didn't have as much arc as they did at the beginning. His self-confidence has taken a hit, and it is reflected in his own form.

So far in the fourth quarter, Irving has made just 1 of 5 shots. At the same time, it also made Link play a misalignment. His offensive stability has been buried in Link's hands along with self-confidence.

Without completely shaking up the space, Irving made a pull-up jumper. But alas, Conley's blockade did not hesitate. If the Cavaliers are not good at defending from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position, then the Grizzlies are extremely strong defensively from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position.

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of the basket shattered Irving's last illusion, and at the same time shattered the only hope left in his heart.

"Kelly. Irving missed, and the Cleveland Cavaliers had one foot completely empty and hung over the edge of the cliff. "Hubby. Brown looked at the score, and with 1:42 left in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers were trailing by 11 points.

Originally, the Cavaliers had a chance to narrow the margin to single digits, but Kelly. Owen failed to shoulder the load.

Irving glanced at Vitesse after shooting the iron, but Vitesse didn't sneer at Irving.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a camaraderie. If it were in another game, Irving would have missed a key shot, and Vitesse would have opened his big mouth to all sorts of taunts.

But today, Vitesse was quiet. Because he knows that under the high pressure given by Link, he may not be able to score the ball himself.

Vitesse has been completely silent since he was offended by Link at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

He clearly realized that if he and Link continued to raise the bar, they would be asking for their own hardships.

So throughout the fourth quarter, Vitesse didn't put on any decent performance. The guard, who has historically been in a scramble with Irving, may have played the most passes since he entered the NBA.

Of course, Vitesse didn't fail to make a single shot. 0-of-3 shooting, and that's his fourth-quarter report card. The double pressure of mental and physical pressure made Vitesse's miraculous offensive performance disappear.

If the nerve knife can't be pumped up, it loses its only role.

Vitesse's poor performance naturally made him unqualified to make any sarcastic remarks about Owen.

Randolph grabbed his 13th rebound of the game with less than two minutes to go. This offense, the Grizzlies' goal is undoubtedly to end the game completely.

Alonzo. Kee was entangled with Link before he even caught the ball, and the undrafted pick was unwilling to pass up any opportunity to show himself.

Sadly, his opponent today is one of the greatest undrafted picks in NBA history. Perhaps as Link's career continues, this "one" can be removed.

Link leans on Alonzo with his back. Ji, with his left hand raised high, took the initiative to ask for the ball.

To end the offense of the game, Link of course had to solve the problem himself.

By the end of the third quarter, Link had only 18 points. But now, Link's individual score has come to 28 points.

10 points in a single quarter, 4 of 5 shots, this is Link's report card in the fourth quarter of the game.

When Owen and Vitesse started to hit the iron like crazy, when their scores started to stop rising. Only Link can still score as efficiently as he did in the first quarter of the game.

His jumpers, breakaways, layups...... Every step is steady and effortless. It's like a master hidden in the mountains, who looks ordinary, but his moves are deadly.

Both Irving and Vitesse had a misplaced defensive record of defending Link in the fourth quarter, and of course, neither of them managed to prevent Link from scoring.

When Link holds the ball and turns to face the frame, Alonzo. Kei felt as if his legs and feet were out of order.

He really didn't know how Link would end the attack.

Because on this game, Alonzo. Kei's impression of Link is just one - that guy can do anything!

Link slowly controlled the ball beyond the three-point line, Alonzo. Kei was afraid of being breached, so he had to keep some space with Link.

Physical confrontation? The experience of the last three quarters of more games has taught Alonzo. Kee, Link is immune to the body's anti-opposition.

At the very least, it's immunity to the body that you give.

Link looked at Alonzo, who was so nervous that his body became extremely stiff. Ji, I think that's too exaggerated.

"I can't eat people, why are you so far away from me?" Link was a little speechless, was he so scary?

Didn't do it to Alonzo today. What did Kei do, he just scored 28 points on 62.4% shooting......

The big black bear block is in place, and Link starts immediately.

Nervous Alonzo. Kee took a step back the moment Randolph's pick-and-roll was in place, and he chose to defend the pick-and-roll in a way that went around the back.

Link, however, had no intention of breaking through. He just moved sideways, and he was still outside the three-point line. In Alonzo. With Kee out of position, Link dribbled and shot a three-point shot directly!

At that moment, Owen couldn't hear the noise of the scene, couldn't hear the shouts of his teammates, and couldn't even hear his own breathing.

He looked at the extremely high arc of the basketball, and he only used the sound of "beep ~~~~~".

He knew it was the sound of a heart stop......

"Brush!"

Link's seemingly leisurely three-pointer hit the target, and his basketball became the last straw that crushed the young Cavaliers.

14 minutes apart, a minute and a half minutes, Irving and Vitesse, who were completely discouraged...... Combined, these factors made the Cavaliers almost impossible to win this game.

The moment Link scored, the referee blew the whistle in a hurry. The Cavaliers called a timeout, and in the first three quarters, they were glad they were able to bite the score. But now, they feel nothing but despair.

With 31 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, Link was like a solid scoring machine in the fourth quarter, eating Irving and Vitesse to death. With 13 points in a single quarter, he told his two juniors what a real superstar is.

As Link stepped off the court, Stevens gently hugged him, "You've done your job, Link." ”

"It's nice to be able to avoid an upset." Link smiled and sat back on the bench.

Stevens waved his hand, and the five bench players who had already been ready took off their training uniforms with gusting hands.

This means that Stevens has lit his victory cigar.

"You guy, you don't show mercy at all. Did you see Irving and Vitesse play in the fourth quarter? They're completely stupefied by you! Randolph laughed uncontrollably from the bench, and it was amusing at the beginning of the fourth quarter when Randolph saw Vitesse's expression change from arrogant to nervous to frightened!

Irving also said before the game that the Cavaliers came to Memphis to win. Haha, megalomaniacal boy. I can't wait to see what he's going to do with reporters. "Randolph was more excited than Link, and the fat man was already more emotional.

"Kelly. Irving? Spare him, don't care about his post-match remarks. I'm more concerned now, Darrell. What Morey should face next for journalists and the league. ”

Link looked at the T-shirts with the words "Morey, apologize" and was immediately full of confidence.

Link would have liked to see Morey bow his head in front of reporters and admit his mistakes more than Irving.

Now, he had nowhere to run.
